I was tagged by Jail Diet to do the following...List 5 things that certain people (who are not deserving of being your friend anyway) may consider to be "totally lame," but you are, despite the possible stigma, totally proud of. Own it. Tag 5 others:

1. I made the honor roll every marking period in the 12th grade.

2. You know those letters you get for sports in hight school? Well, I was the first member of my freshman class to be awarded a band letter, which we got by earning points for showing up for band camp at the end of summer, being on time, participating in try-outs for chairs, etc. The stupid thing is, the school wouldn't let us buy the regular jacket that you sew the letters on. No, we had to have cheap black and orange (our school colors) windbreakers. I still have mine.

3. I was captain of the flag squad my sophomore, junior, and senior years in high school. Yes, I was a "flaggot." And a darn good one, too!

4. I was President of my church youth group in 12th grade, too.

5. I made a fantastic apron and at least one really cool long 1970s-style dress (because it was the 1970s) as a member of our local 4H club. I got blue ribbons on them.

I tag Lauren and Tori, having very few blogfriends I am familiar enough with that they may not openly jeer at me in their blogs.

Yeah, I understand. Being the Marching band Majorette didn't win me any points with my friends. They all though I was crazy. 1st chair flute didn't help much either.

I liked reading this and realizing that I liked doing things that others did, even if my friends didn't.

Glad you shared.

these are excellent facts!

that's so dumb that you couldn't get the big old jackets. i had one for cheerleading and my senior year i wouldn't be caught dead in it. we cheerleaders were required to wear it when in uniform. good thing i quit in the middle of football season.

HAHAH! This post was awesome! I will totally do this when I can think of some stuff. I am lame, so that won't be too hard.

I wanted to thank you for being so sweet. That comment you left me really was the best one I received and truly made me feel better. You are so nice :)
